yeah. . I just dont like the idea that dogs are a commodity/material thing that can be "WON", like a tv or a furniture set

also, if people cannot afford to adopt a dog for $100, they cannot afford a dog period. My sister used to be a model for these huge auctions at country clubs, and once they made her walk around holding Labrador puppies that were being auctioned off to hunters. . . she got so sick that she had to quit. The pups just went to whoever was paying the most, no screening or adoption process or anything (basically the same procedures as a pet store). Its all gross to me.
